According to Kaity, the actor may have considered ketamine infusions from a doctor that might have been a gateway for him to return to drug usage.
“I’m pretty sure that in Matthew’s brain, ketamine infusions at a doctor’s would count as still being sober. In his brain, it’s not the same as going on the street to buy crack or heroin,” she said in an interview with The U.S. Sun.
“That probably was the stepping stone for him to go back to doing drugs. I think the doctors who had been working with Matthew should be investigated. I’m pretty sure he would have had an in with a doctor,” she added.
The toxicology report revealed that the actor passed away due to ‘acute effects of ketamine’. Ketamine is a dissociative anaesthetic used for treating depression. It is said that Matthew underwent ketamine infusion therapy to treat anxiety and depression before his death.
On December 17, Sunday, a close friend of the deceased actor stated to The Daily Mail that Perry “lied to everyone about being clean.”
